Life and Living....

 The boys created the coolest card board house.  It had a garage and rooms and a cool roof where they could reach in and play with their animals.  They are both so creative.  I love it!!

 We had a blizzard and it was so fun to have a good snow fall all at once.  I love the snow!

This baby girl is getting big.  at 4 months old she has doubled her birth weight at 16 lbs 15oz.  She is also 26 1/2 inches long and in the 99% for height and weight.  You go girl!  And to make things funner, this picture she looks a lot older then she is.

January

 The kiddos watching a movie together

Gideon making himself some pretty cool wings


Gideon lost his 6th tooth
 So he got an extra Euro cause I was nice.
  Just after he wrote this he asked us the truth about the tooth fairy, so we told him about the tooth fairy and Santa and anyone else that we are.  Joseph told him if you want to know the truth about something I will tell you it.  So now he gets to be the keeper of that secret and help us with the fun of the Magic it creates with the other kids.

 Our little miss adorable!!

We have our bird feeder on our back table so that we can see the birds a little closer up.  This Block bird loves the food
with a Orange breasted sparrow


 Arya just fell asleep after a bottle (it is so nice that she will take both)
 Hanging out with each other.   I love how happy they make one another
 Bridger and I playing an identify ABC game....
You make a snake out of play dough and then mix up the sticks and give the snake spikes by putting the alphabet in order.

January has come and gone..  Here is a rundown of what all has been going down in the Jones home.

I am sick of crutches.... end of story :)

 We started reading the Chronicles of Narnia together as a family.  We just finished the Magicians nephew and will start the Lion, witch and wardrobe tomorrow.  The boys love it.

Arya started eating baby food at around 3 months and now eats wheat and rice cereal and anything else fruit or veggies pureed.  She gets so excited when she see's a spoon now.  So cute.  She is stronger too.  She loves sitting up against something and will hold herself there really well.  

Joseph went to his first stake conference with us today while here in Germany.  It was so nice to be able to go all together.  

I have good friends who bless me with their time and yummy dinners and helping hands to help me around the house.  That has been so nice.

I love the Lord.  I was praying last night and was struggling with something and decided to open up my scriptures and look through the scriptures to help me.  My answer came through Ephesians chapter 6.  I loved the verses 6-8.
  That was my answer with what I was struggling with.  I love it when we pray and are seeking help, the Lord is so willing and loves us and wants to help us.  It was through His words that I got my answer.  I am so grateful for the knowledge of a father in Heaven and for the knowledge that I am His Daughter.

Bridger loves Pre-school with his friends Brock, Alyssa, London, Sadie and Daxlee.  We have it 2 times a week and he can't wait for that day.  He loves being with his friends.  I love my Bridger boy.  He loves to hold his baby sister and make her smile and laugh.  

Gideon has been doing really well in school.  He got his first report card and is doing really well in math and reading.  He has the highest reading level in his class right now and loves to read.  his goal is to have 100 chapter books read by the end of this year.  Go Gideon!! 
 
I have been impressed with changing a few things around are home that deal with how I am parenting my children and how to raise them and to change myself.  I hope I can follow the spirit on this one.  I feel it is really important.  So more on this to come as I come to understand it more.

I love setting goals.  I am working on writing my weekly goals and how I am going to accomplish them.  I feel like simplifying, renewing and serving more and trying to figure out how to do that and setting goals in place to get me there.   I also love to dream with my hubby and love to play around with planning how we would lay out our ranch someday and what we would do to financially provide for us.  

All in all life is good.  The hard days come but the good days help them to pass a little easier.  Hope you all have a good February!

I hope each of you are having a good week! Love all of ya~ Camille
